When families live with fewer barriers to health and safety, it can really make a difference in children's lives. This doesn't mean you have to live a nudist life, but for Pete's sake at least allow comfortable nudity in the home. Allow your children to grow up with understanding and a lack of shame

Naturism isn’t just white, straight, and familiar. If your podcast/blog/YouTube only ever showcases that narrow slice, you’re not promoting naturism—you’re limiting it. Make more room for Black, brown, queer, and trans voices. Our community is bigger than your bubble. 👀

I have to tell you, feeling Nature's presence upon your natural skin is a pleasure like no other

Just a nice tender moment, two naturally clad figures take a moment to relax on a rock in a stream.

What even is the point of having a 'remembrance day' when our entire society is just ramping up for fascism redux anyway.

Throwing arms up in joy at the pleasure of having a place like Wreck Beach, BC, Canada where one can pursue pure body freedom.

Even those that are aometes very adamant they could 'never do THAT' end up loving some time unclothed ima safe and welcoming environment.

Humanity's struggle with our bodies always comes down to three things: Money, Power, Shame. These things are intrinsically intertwined. Industries convince us to be ashamed so we'll buy products or seek aid, which in turn allows control of our independency and autonomy. It's up to US to break free

When I was little I was always told that bad people and bad actions resulted in consequences. What I WASN'T told was that the people that determined what was 'bad' or not were simply those with power and money... Not those interested in the decency of our fellow human. These kids are in good hands.

I really think I nailed the depth perception in this one. Very pleased with the result.

I want to redraw this one some day. I had switched to digital drawing on my new huion Kamvas by this point, so technically I could fix it easier than redrawing it. Most of it is fine.. But the child's head is FAR TOO SMALL. A flaw I tend to have.

When you really get down to it, doesn't treating our nakedness as anything but joyful and wholesome just a symptom of a controlling power structure? I think so.

When we are very young, our bodies are but a source of amusement and/or curiosity. As we age, and change physically and emotionally, we gain a broader understanding which society then shames us into believing is 'bad' or 'dirty' or 'lustful'. It takes some work to break that indoctrination.

It doesn't matter what you look like. The ridiculous 'I don't want to see that' or 'Nobody needs to see ME naked' or any other iteration is simply a symptom of a brainwashed populace. The reality is that once you are actually around actual bodies... It ceases to be an issue.

I also had nothing but issues. I rolled back with an emergency undo, and that worked for me, but word is that many others are simply losing their entire system(s). What a fucking mess. Microsoft owes people.

There is a day approaching in the not so distant future that I'm looking more forward to than almost anything in my adult life to date... Yet I daren't speak of it.

It's all about the GOAT Death to Smoochy

Autumn is here, and with it a loss of an ability to be this free in the outdoors for most of the next 5 months or so. The memories remain, and if you're in a place where you still can? Do so. Let your kids do so. Show others that it's great to do so.

There's one thing 'AI' can ever take from me... And that's going into nature and stripping off the trappings of society. If only extremely briefly sometimes.

I agree.

As I continue my drawing journey, at this point I was documenting my body changes during the pandemic. The next few show how I slowly gained weight as mental health suffered and I became loathe to participate in physical activity. I also stress ate. A lot.

Sexy BC Hydro Outage Map. Now how to pull THIS one off...

I believe humanity is in its death throes... But I don't have to be a part of it. I can find myself, find my own joys and stand up and live MY truth while things around me die a little more every day.

I don't believe they should have rebuilt and restored the Notre Dame. I believe they should have torn it down and built shelter housing and complexes designed to house, educate and get homeless and others back on their feet, with the former clergy and staff of the church as workers.

I desperately need some work. Anyone want to commission me? I need about $500 before Nov. 7th to stay afloat. Ugh.

Folks... Windows 11 feature update 25H2 is a MESS. DON'T UPDATE IF YOU CAN HELP IT.

I miss the beach already... :/

Goodnight folks. Perhaps tomorrow we shall reach for the sun.

Human Artists! Use one piece to convince other humans to follow you! (Or forever send them away in disgust, since puritanical society teaches us nasty horrible things).

I have brutal insomnia. Following this AWS outage hasn't helped. I keep hoping it's the ACTUAL end of the internet. Wouldn't that be something?

Adults often, if not always, forget that play is as important for US as it is for children. I mean, we still engage in sports and games, but just sheer play? Just running around and giggling and pretending and losing ourselves in the moment? It's rare.

Stand strong and proud, no matter how messed up things are around you. Be vulnerable, be brave, be yourself.

The last time the world saw this level of authoritarianism in a state as powerful as the one we are seeing it in, it ABSOLUTELY took violence to end it. Just saying.

I really enjoy drawing bums. I've said it before, I'll probably say it many times again... But there is just something so wonderful about all those lines and connections and 'fullness' of existing. Also, if you turn bums upside down, they make hearts.

We live in such a crazy time. A few dozen people ride naked on some bikes and a major party leader calls it 'the most frightening thing I've seen'. If you've let yourself get to the point where the human body frightens you more than destroying those bodies... Holy shit. Holy. Shit.

I have so many drawings still to post folks... And hopefully by the time I'm done I'll have started actually drawing new stuff too.

The end if comfortable outdoor nudity for about 5 months is upon me... The photo I drew from for this picture was taken in a January though... So... There's always a little hope.

kids teacher just sent this home as part of an assignment he's doing and i want to smash every computer at the school

I can not understand why we have to work hard to maintain understandings that are so obvious when even a tiny thought gets put behind them. Like these images. What you SEE in them says more about yourself than the people in them or the artist presenting them. Pay attention to how they get labelled.

The art and the artist: I mostly work from photographs. I mostly work from my OWN photos or photos given to me by others for the express purpose of artwork. That isn't always feasible of course and sometimes I do projects where I do studies of others' works. The vast majority is nude human body.

When you're just out in the natures a relaxin' all coo... Ain't too much out there'd I'd really rather do.

Didn't do a great job on thus one and always wanted to redo it... But lost tge original photo. Alas. It's a fun moment.

Humans having fun in the most natural way possible. I mean... Who can look at this and think anything but, 'that looks so fun.'. Unfortunately, too many of us. Let's work on thinking different.

I have bronchitis. It's mixed with extreme insomnia. That isn't a healthy combo.

We can be human together in the most human way possible... Without it being uncomfortable, weird or embarrassing. Seriously. It's really extremely easy.

The world is in such an awful place right now. The US gleefully turning into a totalitarian state, Europe on he verge of cancelling privacy altogether, Russia looking more and more like destroying the entire planet in its death throes... But even despite all that, this is how I achieve peace.

Time to go back to a more relaxed and centered headspace...

MLP also brings up something I heard about today. A cousin of mine in good ol' Alberta posted this to Facebook: 'It's good to see so many moms at home with their children where they belong'. He rightly got some angry push back, but doubled down. (I don't have Facebook but heard it from other family)

This is a fuller version of one of the drawings I posted when I first started doing these reposts. It was this drawing that drew the ire of my sister-in-law that demanded I stop drawing naked children with adults, as if it was somehow inherently creepy and wrong... Sorry lady, it's neither.

It's weird. Sometimes as you get better at a skill, you first have to... Get worse... At a skill. Or, more accurately, your improvement process can be a little rough as you learn new things, but implement them poorly at first. This drawing is a reflection of that. Poor proportion, rough lines, etc
